Chapter 1159 The Prince Is Wise and the Ministers Support Him
Lu's cry was not loud, but it was enough to be heard outside the room.
Fang Yiai, who was waiting outside the room, thought something had happened to her father, so when she heard the sound, she opened the door and barged in.
"Father, how are you?" Seeing that Fang Xuanling was fine, Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief.
His hand was just dislocated, and he was still young, so it wasn't a serious injury.
"Close the door." Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai said.
Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, then went to close the door.
When he returned to Fang Xuanling, he heard Fang Xuanling speak slowly: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Wei told me that Zhao Chen is still alive."
"Young man Zhao is still alive?" Lu's face showed surprise.
She always thought that Zhao Chen was dead.
After all, this news has been circulating for a long time, and there are rumors that Li Tai sent someone to poison Zhao Chen.
The reason is even more unbelievable.
Everyone said that Zhao Chen was the emperor's son, and the position of prince Li Tai should have been Zhao Chen.
That's why Li Tai sent people to commit murder.
But rumors say that Zhao Chen was hit by Duangchang Powder, and since there has been no news about Zhao Chen for such a long time, something must have happened.
Then why do you say he is still alive now?
Lu knew what Zhao Chen was capable of. If Zhao Chen was still alive, he would definitely be able to find a way to deal with Li Tai.
But the key is, is Zhao Chen really still alive?
Fang Yiai also looked at her father.
Although he did not receive special care from Zhao Chen like his brother Fang Yizhi, he had been helped by Zhao Chen before.
Otherwise, if he marries a princess and goes home, he will never have a chance to live a good life in the future.
When she heard the news about Zhao Chen's accident, Fang Yiai felt sad for several days.
But at this moment...
"Yes, Zhao Chen is still alive. Li Tai is worried that Zhao Chen will not be able to deal with him when he returns to Chang'an. He is also worried that those of us who are not of the same mind as Li Tai will help Zhao Chen."
"That's why they frequently attack us."
"Yesterday's big
Dai Zhou, the young minister of Lisi, Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and even the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, as long as they had some relationship with Zhao Chen, were all dismissed from their posts, and some were even directly demoted to other places. "
"Li Tai wants to completely turn Chang'an Chaotang into his own one-spoken hall and use it to deal with Zhao Chen, otherwise..." Fang Xuanling said slowly.
Maybe he was tired, and his breathing was slightly quickened.
Madam Lu gently massaged his chest, and Fang Xuanling finally recovered.
"Then let's..." Fang Yiai looked at his father.
"Wait." Fang Xuanling said, thinking of Fang Yizhi who was kicked out by him again.
I don’t know how he is doing now!
…
The next morning, in the Tai Chi Hall.
All the officials who came to court today felt a sense of uneasiness.
They had all heard that yesterday Changsun Wuji and his men beat Fang Xuanling half to death.
Fang Xuanling!
That was an old man from the court, an old man who had been with the emperor for many years.
He was almost beaten to death in his own house just like that.
Thinking of this, all the officials in the court could not help but tremble.
Fang Xuanling was dealt with like that, what about ordinary officials like them?
Looking at the court at this moment, many familiar faces have all disappeared.
Fang Xuanling, Liu Zhenghui, Duan Lun, Dai Zhou and so on.
The six ministers were directly replaced by five, and the ministers of each ministry all had unfamiliar faces.
The generals who came to court all looked arrogant.
Everyone looked around and seemed to only see one familiar face, Li Xiaogong.
No one dared to speak.
This situation has been going on for a few days, it seems that it has been like this ever since Li Tai killed two officials in front of hundreds of officials.
When the emperor came to court,
That's a huge difference.
At that time, when the emperor went to court, all the officials were smiling and talking non-stop. It would be like this now.
"Alas -" A heavy sigh sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.
All the officials' hearts sank, and they looked at Li Tai and others who came in from outside the hall.
"The prince is here in person, and all the officials will come to court!" a eunuch shouted.
All the officials bowed their hands and called the prince a thousand years old.
Li Tai glanced at all the officials. All the officials he glanced at lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.
"I'm going to court today. Do you have any notes?" Li Tai stood on the steps and asked the officials. .??.??
Everyone was silent.
Now that Li Tai is in charge of politics, many officials dare not tell him about many things.
All with the attitude of minimizing big issues and minimizing minor issues.
After all, no matter how much you say, you will make many mistakes, who dares to offend the prince!
"Since no one has this memorial, I will announce a few things." Li Tai said loudly.
All the officials looked over.
"The first thing is that my uncle, Sun Wuji, has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. My father was deceived by traitors and demoted my uncle from Chang'an."
"Today, I have discussed with Kong Pushe and are planning to let Changsun Wuji be the right servant of Shangshu Province and Jin Sikong."
"Do you have any opinions?" After Li Tai finished speaking, he looked at the officials.
Li Tai forcefully killed two officials who opposed him before, and the residual power has not dissipated to this day.
How dare anyone among the officials object?
"The prince is wise, and I will support you!" all the officials shouted in unison.
Li Tai was very satisfied with Baiguan's attitude.
This is the result he wants.
Changsun Wuji also showed joy on his face. He cupped his hands with the officials and stood behind Kong Yingda.
Seeing Chang Sun Wuji standing behind Kong Yingda, the officials couldn't help but feel a little thump in their hearts.
Fang Xuanling was beaten seriously in her own house.
The position of Zhongshu Ling must be vacant.
Just now, they were still thinking about who would succeed Zhongshu Ling.
But looking at Changsun Wuji's actions, they seemed to understand.
Sure enough, the next thing I heard was that Li Tai asked Kong Yingda to take over Fang Xuanling's official position as Zhongshuling.
Kong Yingda was even given the position of Minister Zuopushe.
"The third thing is about the frontline war." After making arrangements for Kong Yingda, Li Tai talked about the frontline war again.
"Now the army has retreated to Cangzhou City for defense. My father and the generals are resisting Goguryeo's invasion."
"But the national treasury is already empty and it is really difficult to support the front line."
"I have discussed with Kong and Changsun, and are ready to invite my father to return to the court. As for the war on the front line, I want to send someone to negotiate peace with Goguryeo."
"What do you think?" Li Tai's voice sounded in the Tai Chi Hall
…
"Did you hear about today's court meeting?"
"The prince plans to send someone to negotiate peace with Goguryeo."
"Some officials objected and were killed by that bastard Changsun Wuji."
"I heard about negotiating peace with Goguryeo, but I really didn't expect it."
"His Majesty and the generals fought hard on the front line, but in the end, the prince wanted to negotiate peace with Goguryeo."
"I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince probably wants to rebel."
"Hush, don't talk nonsense about treason."
"Is there anything I can't say? Your Majesty is blocking the enemy at the front, while the Prince is negotiating peace behind your back. It's really ridiculous."
In Chang'an City, many people were discussing today's court meeting.
News that Li Tai wanted to negotiate peace with Goguryeo soon spread.
Changsun Wuji even beat an opposing official to death in the Taiji Hall in order to proceed with the peace negotiation.
The people of Chang'an were all filled with righteous indignation.
Many people even went directly to Jingzhao Mansion, but this had no effect at all.
